How do I get a free library card?
Adults need to provide a valid form of identification indicating a current Florham Park address such as a driver’s license or personalized check or bill. Children who can write their first and last names may get cards. A parent or guardian must sign the card and accept responsibility for all materials checked out on a minor’s card. When the library card is issued, a PIN will also be assigned.

How do I find out if the Library has a book I want?
You can find any type of item (book, CD, DVD, etc) by logging into the M.A.I.N catalog and entering the search criteria. You can log on by selecting your home library from a drop down list or by entering your library card number (the bar code on the back of your card) and your PIN. If the desired item is found, a list will display showing all the member libraries that own the item and the status.

How can I obtain a book that is not at the Florham Park Library?
Florham Park Library is a member of the Morris Automated Information Network (M.A.I.N.), a consortium of the Morris County Library and 37 municipal libraries. Your library card is accepted at all of these libraries. For a complete list of participating libraries, see http://www.mainlib.org/locations.

If you do not wish to go to another library, you can request that the item be sent via interlibrary loan to the Florham Park Library. Interlibrary loan requests can be placed online from the library catalog, or you can call the Library at (973)377-2694. Tutorials are available for online searching and placing hold requests. Please have your card ready when you place a request.

If you cannot locate items in the M.A.I.N catalog, try using Jersey Cat, a database of the holdings of New Jersey public and academic libraries provided by the State of New Jersey. For more information, contact us.

How do I view ‘My Account’?
From the My Account section of the M.A.I.N catalog, enter your library card number and PIN to access the list of items you have out or on hold, renew items, cancel or suspend holds, check on your outstanding fines and fees, change your PIN, change your email or phone number information, select your notification preference and maintain your saved searches. If you do not know your PIN, click on the link for “Forgot or PIN or password” or call the library at 973-377-2694. Also available is an online tutorial.
